Industry's most powerful trolling motor delivering 100 lbs of thrust with multi-band GPS and integrated AHRS - featuring revolutionary pivot-mount design, brushless motor technology, and included GT56UHD sonar transducer.

The Garmin Force Kraken represents the pinnacle of trolling motor technology, engineered to deliver unmatched power and precision for serious anglers. This revolutionary 100-pound thrust motor combines multi-band GPS positioning, advanced AHRS technology, and efficient brushless motor design to create the ultimate fishing platform for challenging conditions and larger vessels.

Revolutionary Pivot-Mount Design

The innovative pivot-style mount maximizes deck space while enabling easy installation in bow-limited configurations typical of deep-V hulls and high-freeboard vessels. This space-saving design provides superior clearance during deployment and stowage while maintaining the structural integrity required for 100-pound thrust operation.

Most Powerful Thrust Performance

Delivering 100 pounds of thrust at 36V (80 lbs at 24V) in compliance with ISO standard 13342, the Force Kraken provides unparalleled power for controlling larger boats in challenging conditions. The high-efficiency propeller design maximizes thrust while minimizing battery drain and noise signature.

Advanced Multi-Band GPS Technology

Featuring dual-frequency GPS with integrated AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System), the Force Kraken delivers the most precise boat positioning available in recreational trolling motors. Multi-band GPS reception ensures reliable positioning even in challenging environments with interference or limited satellite visibility.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100 lbs Maximum Thrust: Industry-leading power for ultimate boat control (36V operation)
• Multi-Band GPS/AHRS: Most precise anchor lock positioning with heading hold capability
• Brushless Motor Design: Extended runtime, whisper-quiet operation, reduced maintenance
• Pivot-Style Mount: Space-saving design ideal for limited bow space applications
• Wireless Chartplotter Integration: Create and follow routes, patterns, and tracks automatically
• GT56UHD-TR Transducer: Ultra High-Definition CHIRP sonar with ClearVü and SideVü imaging
• LiveScope Cable Integration: Route transducer cables through motor shaft for clean installation
• Point and Go Navigation: AHRS-enabled directional control with gesture steering
• Variable Speed Control: 20-step speed adjustment for precise boat positioning
• Marine-Grade Construction: Advanced corrosion protection for saltwater environments

Precision Anchor Lock Technology

Garmin's most advanced anchor lock system utilizes multi-band GPS and integrated AHRS to maintain position with unprecedented accuracy. The system automatically compensates for wind, current, and wave action while maintaining precise heading hold - essential for vertical fishing presentations and structure fishing.

Brushless Motor Advantages

The efficient brushless motor design eliminates traditional carbon brushes, resulting in longer runtime, quieter operation, and reduced maintenance requirements. Optimized for both 24V and 36V operation, the motor delivers consistent performance in rough open-water conditions while producing minimal underwater noise that could spook fish.

Technical Specifications

Advanced Sonar Integration

GT56UHD-TR Transducer Specifications

• CHIRP Sonar: High-wide CHIRP (150-240 kHz) to 800 ft freshwater
• ClearVü Imaging: 455/800/1000 kHz frequencies to 400 ft depth
• SideVü Imaging: 455/800/1000 kHz frequencies to 500 ft range
• 12-Pin Connection: Orange connector for secure sonar connection

LiveScope Integration Ready

The Force Kraken is designed for seamless LiveScope live sonar integration with internal cable routing through the motor shaft. This keeps the deck clutter-free while protecting the transducer cable from damage during operation (LiveScope transducer and mounting bracket sold separately).

Wireless Chartplotter Integration

Connect wirelessly to compatible Garmin chartplotters to unlock advanced navigation features. Create fishing routes, set trolling patterns, and record productive tracks that the motor can automatically follow while you focus on fishing. The integration enables sophisticated fishing strategies impossible with traditional trolling motors.

Advanced Control Options

• Included Remote: Full-featured wireless remote with point-and-go capability
• Gesture Steering: Control direction with simple hand movements
• Quatix Watch Support: Compatible with Garmin marine smartwatches
• Foot Pedal Compatible: Traditional wired foot pedal operation available
